It's not a good sign when there are so many infectious disease outbreaks happening at the same time that it's difficult to keep track of everything.
Her: "Don't worry about catching anything from us. We had Covid six weeks ago, then tonsillitis, then pneumonia, but we don't have anything now." Me: 🙄
So nurses go on strike for a fair wage and safer NHS, the right lose their minds. We have nurses using food banks… the right don’t care. But when a farmer with land worth £Ms has an extra tax… the right protest. The irony of nurses are using food banks aye. Ok got it.
Emergency doctor and GP here. Just lost for words at the stupidity of this.
Dr. Bonnie Henry just said that we catch H5N1 by rubbing it into our eyes or from inhaling the virus, but then said the only thing we need to do to prevent catching it and other viruses is to wash our hands. 🤦♂️ She never mentioned wearing N95s and the like.
Me: "Excuse me, did I just hear you say you have whooping cough?" Her: "Yes. The doctor has just prescribed me antibiotics." Me: "Did he say anything about not mixing until the antibiotics have taken effect?" Her: "I don't think so." Me: <cries>
Drug & "healthcare" companies are making a killing off people refusing to take covid seriously. 2/2
36-year-old can't breathe, rushed to ER. Lungs full of blood clots. Doc asks how many times he's had covid. Doesn't know, hasn't been testing. Doc guesses 3-4. Prescribes blood thinners for the rest of his life. 1/2
As expected, the baseline "low" continues to rise. Our new "low" is nearly 23% higher than the previous "low" in April. The spikes will appear "shorter" as a result, hiding how many more people persistently have COVID year-round.
As we head into the sixth year of the pandemic, it's astonishing that barely anyone is willing to admit the difference between the short term and long term harms of a viral infection.
What am I afraid of? I'm afraid of the *third bump*. Let me explain.
If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong. This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world. See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic... Look at how it changed in 2020. And see where it's going *now*.
In summary, our new paper shows clearly that for babies, the pandemic is as bad as it ever was. There are things we can do to protect them, and we should. Paper here: jpeds.com/article/S0022-… 17/17
We need to be vaccine champions! Babies' lives do depend on it! Then, in the medium term, I believe we SHOULD offer infants & young children covid vax so that those not already infected can meet their first infection (e.g. on starting nursery) with some protection. 16/17
Given increasing vaccine hesitancy, perhaps the most important immediate effort is to tackle that across all existing childhood vaccines and uptake in pregnant women- esp whooping cough & RSV, two of the nastiest things for babies (worse than Covid). 15/17
We also know that uptake of routine childhood vaccinations in childhood is declining in England, and we've seen not just whooping cough outbreaks this year, but several measles ones as well. 14/17
Problem is that uptake is quite low. About 40% for covid vaccine & 42% for flu vax in pregnancy. Uptake of whooping cough vaccine was only 60% last winter - 15% points lower than in 2017. This year has seen more babies died of pertussis. 13/17
In fact, pregnant women can protect their newborns against all sorts of nasty respiratory viruses by being vaccinated in pregnancy. As well as Covid, there's flu, whooping cough, and - now - RSV! 12/17
Most effective thing to protect newborns is for their mothers to be vaxxed during pregnancy (ideally in 3rd trimester). It's not perfect but far better than nothing & IS OFFERED in UK. Read Vicki Male's doc on all vax & pregnancy questions! 11/17 drive.google.com/file/d/1_wHIYX…
US analysis has shown that Covid hospitalisations in babies under 6 months old are HIGHER than ANY other age group apart from over 75s! Similar to adults aged 65-74! Almost 1 in 5 babies needed intensive care! 10/17
However, while personally I am in favour including covid vax in childhood programme, it's not quite that simple. Firstly, newborn babies are by far most vulnerable and there is no vax before 6 months old. 9/17
